The original One Sports channel was launched on January 9, 2019 on satellite provider Cignal, replacing Sports5-run Hyper. One Sports is the second MediaQuest channel launched under the One branding, along with the English-language news channel One News, Filipino-language news/talk channel One PH, and premium entertainment channel One Screen.[1] One Sports+ carries its sports-related programming 24 hours a day, year round.

On March 8, 2020, One Sports was relaunched as a free-to-air television channel, merging its programming with its counterpart 5 Plus, as TV5 Network's sports division adopted the same branding coinciding with the start of the 2020 PBA season. Meanwhile, the original satellite One Sports channel has been rebranded as One Sports+[lower-alpha 2], making them as the fourth One-branded channel.[2]

From March 30 to June 14, 2020, the terrestrial network temporarily suspended its broadcast due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the enforcement of the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon.[3]

As of January 1, 2021, the live stream of terrestrial network simulcasts One PH for unknown reason.
